GL.

FWIW from someone who doesn't drink it - get your coffee at Eataly. The closest thing to Aus style coffee on the strip apparently.

At the WSOP, find "All American Dave's". It's a food truck, just outside the main hallway. Here's their menu for last Wednesday:

LEMON PEPPER CHICKEN $23.09
w/wild brown rice and veggies

SPICY BBQ CHICKEN $23.09
w/sweet potatoes and veggies

AAD BURGER $23.09
w/sweet and veggies

GINGER SCALLION SALMON $24.94
w/wild brown rice and veggie

VEGAN CAESAR SALAD* $11.09
add any protein

It is pricy, but they know they have a captive audience. The food however, is both healthy and tasty.

Made day 2 of the Big 50 tournament. 152nd biggest stack going in so that's good.

so far I've only managed to play 3 hours of cash games.

Back into day two at 5pm today, so no poker for me before then.

Gonna eat some breakfast, lift some weights (back and biceps today lol) and put in some last minute tourney revision I think.

I'm still only sleeping 5 hours a night, poxxy jetlag (and probably overexcitement from the tourney to be fair)

Loving the updates and living vicariously through you. And with the awesome chip capper, you will go deep.

You going there to play poker or cage fight??

If you’re still awake at 5 am you have to go to Margaritaville and check out the clientele. It’s like the Star Wars canteen :LOL: :laugh:

Well done on getting through to day 2...

Not sure that gym muscles will help in a cage fight, but once I strip the fat off and get a bit of the mass back, I'll make a great show pony :ROFL: :ROFLMAO: .

I won't be awake at 5am lol

There is healthy food but you have to be deliberate about it. Oh yeah and you will pay through the nose if you want it on the strip.

I recommend Wicked Spoon in Cosmo and get off strip with Uber to Lindo Michoacan (mex food)

I’m staying at Paris tonight, I’ll have to try a few trips down there. Best luck at cage or tables? Asking for 10? 20?

Ask roulette tables and wheel game for 20 chips at a time. You can get 5 at a time from BJ or other table games.

If you play craps at all it is worth spending some time playing as they can make you change and don't mind giving you 20x if you are playing the game.

Guess I better learn craps or roulette so these chips don’t cost me $400/rack lol

You don't need to play roulette. Just walk up and given them 4x $5 chips and ask for 20x $1 chips. If they ask why just say you want them for tips.
 
Looking for 20-40 Bally's in excellent - nm condition for anyone there willing to do me a solid. If not no worries, focus on taking down STACKS for PCF!

Got a whole rack of near mint Bally's and tipped him $30. He's gonna look for $5s for me next and put them aside.

The cage guy helped me sort through 10 racks. What a dude
